Why is it masculine?
Bolso (bag) is masculine. It derives from Latin "bursa" (feminine, meaning purse or bag), which underwent a gender shift to masculine in Spanish. The shift likely occurred through analogical association with other masculine noun patterns ending in -o, a productive masculine ending in Spanish. However, the exact mechanism of this gender change is not definitively documented, making this an exception rather than following a predictable gender rule.
